Abstract excerpt
Growth factors and morphogens need to be secreted to act on distant cells during development and in response to injury. Here, we report evidence that efficient export of a fibroblast growth factor (FGF), EGL-17, from the Caenorhabditis elegans developing vulva requires the lipoprotein receptor-related proteins Ce-LRP-1 and Ce-LRP-2 and a cytoplasmic adaptor protein, Ce-DAB-1 (Disabled). Lipoprotein receptors are...
